It's a toss up but one I really need us to get. Would be a great tone setter and would shut up some of my UCLA buddies. I think 7-8 wins is a better first year benchmark, anything above 6-6 damnit. I'm worried we might need 9+ to keep JKS for a third season.

We're definitely in the "K-Economy".

But in Trump's Amerika the suckers and losers haven't figured out which leg of the "K" they're stuck in.
That having been said, my younger brother finally threw his Trump hat into the garbage.
He feels betrayed and just last week called Trump an idiot.

I was floored.

If you have a bro that threw his MAGA hat away, I have a brother who threw his furries into the garbage as well.

No, he didn't. They are throwing around some Big 10 money to get high school recruits for 2027 but that won't be much of a problem this fall. Their QB will give us some trouble; otherwise, the baby bears suck.

Did he bring in a lot of guys from JMU, like Cignetti did at Indiana? Haven't looked closely at their roster.

He brought some in but not much else. JMU was extremely overrated last year. Their best win was a 24-20 victory over Washington State.

Agreed, that game is the most important of the season for the program. If we win, 9 wins becomes a reasonable stretch goal.

We'll need that plus a few millions to keep JKS for his third season.

I am feeling really good about our impending victory over the abomination that is UCLA football. I am, not however, feeling really good about the abomination of your targeted bias against posters you don't like. If you really thought this discussion was in the wrong forum and against the rules, you would have targeted the posters discussing UCLA before and after me. Please try to be objective. Also, let's respect the OP as personal attacks, such as the post I am replying to, don't belong here.

He's a (formerly) renown photographer, 72.
She's 24, was given a new phone for work - and was getting messages for someone named Vern-dawg.

She tracked him down. They became friends.
She's using her youthful savvy to bring his photographs to public eye decades later.

I love this story, and the other stories that are of a similar ilk. Well done and thank you for sharing. If you are a fan of this type of feel good human story check out CBS' Steve Hartman's "On The Road" series. They are fabulous.

Never forget that among primates smiling is an act of submission that signals to predators that it is ok to eat your dinner and then f you. I kept this in mind from my earliest school photos through today.

Had my 3-week follow-up today after a highly invasive 2 hour and 15 minute nasal/sinus surgery.

The post-op was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Trading the October '87 Crash was a piece of cake compared to this!

Am so blessed to have connected with a top notch surgeon that is on TOP of his game!

Earlier this year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I had surgery and I am now cancer free. A few weeks ago I left my job and "semi-retired". Spent the last two weeks visiting family in CA and looking for a multi-family investment. Was a great two weeks and is great to no longer be on the corporate grind after over 3 decades.

Congrats on your Retirement!

I have a fellow Cal alum friend whose prostate was like 3 times normal.
He went through a lot of surgery and brachytherapy, the implanting of small radioactive seeds.
Caused bleeding, which led him to have to make 40 appointments down in the South Bay for hyperbaric chamber sessions.

He's finally done with this ordeal.

Congrats dajo, and good luck keeping ahead of Death to the extent possible. rather than surgery i opted for 6 weeks of 5 times a week half hour radiation blast therapy, which painlessly did the trick, ummmmm, so far.
with abundent thanks to Oski for Medicare /* under threat with big cuts by the mad president */

My good fortune so far is due to annual bloodwork with a PSA test. When that number started creeping up I went to a urologist for further testing. They were able to remove the prostate while the cancer was still contained. I never experienced any cancer symptoms.
